Before the death of Rawlings, he built a better bond with the NPP leader to the neglect of the party he formed, the NDC.
Most people have questioned the friendship that existed between the two who belonged to different political divides.
But speaking in an interview with Accra-based Adom FM monitored by MyNewsGh.com, E.T Mensah indicated that Jerry John Rawlings drew closer to Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo because the President listens to his advice.
According to him, President Akufo-Addo also accorded Rawlings the needed respect considering the fact that he was the founder of the fourth Republic and very brain behind Ghana’s democratic pillars.
“I wasn’t shocked by their relationship. Everyone knows a good thing and for Rawlings if he advises you and you listen he like you.
